Yesterday, Google announced that its social network, Google+, will now feature a more integrated experience with its e-mail service, Gmail. The new integration features will allow users to directly interact with notifications from their Google+ account in Gmail.

According to a blog post by Zohair Hyder on the company's official Gmail blog, Google+ e-mails in Gmail will now be interactive, allowing users to directly respond to Google+ comments while in Gmail. Hyder outlines the additional features as follows:

You can view, comment on, and +1 posts from inside your inbox

Your comments appear in the Google+ stream in real-time, and

Responses from others instantly appear in Gmail, as part of the notification message

Google+ users who use a non-Gmail e-mail service will still be able to reply to Google+ notification e-mails, which will allow them to respond to Google+ comments.

The update will be rolled out over the next week to Gmail users who have a Google+ account, according to Hyder's post.
